 SPECIAL NOTE:  This week, WABC drops its "MusicRadio 77" slogan 
 from its survey masthead, becoming "New York's Radio Station - 
 WABC 77."  The printed survey also reverts to numbering just the 
 Top 14, while separating them from the lower positions. 

 It's My Turn and Sequel aren't on the printed list.
